The Grants.gov Program Management Office is currently developing a draft business case for the “next generation” of Grants.gov. It will address improvements in current functionality and performance as well as enhanced capabilities. The PMO is reaching out to all Grants.gov stakeholders (e.g., the grantor agencies, grantee organizations, OMB and others), in addition to sources such as user comments on this blog, to gather recommendations on requirements and priorities for the “next generation." The draft is expected to be ready for Grants Policy Board/Grants Executive Board review by early April and we hope to have a strategic-level Board decision on a future course of action by the end of May. Additionally, more detailed planning will be needed in the following months to flesh out the course directed by the Board. It is our intent to widely share, and seek comments on, next generation planning documents as they evolve, consistent with any limitations imposed by the acquisition process or other relevant policies.
